This initiative is now going to spread to some of the other trades, because the Boilermaker advantage should not be watered down by other people not being engaged and being up to speed. We're integrated on the job, we need to be integrated in going out and getting the work.

Our number one political issue is mobility. Getting unemployed people to the work place. Notwithstanding what I talked about, the tremendous potential for growth, we still have unemployment in many places in Canada. People that the Canadian government invested a huge amount of money in to train. We need to find ways to get those people to where the work is. The cost of a plane fare or a grubsteak can take a fully trained worker and put him to work where he can be supporting his home and his community and his family, and that's not happening now.

We have new ways of being able to get the traveler to work, some fly-in and fly-out jobs in remote sites. We've been trying to wrestle with owners who have really invested zip, zero, nothing in the apprenticeship or the growth of the work force of tomorrow, to make them understand that they have a place growing the work force, a management plan, which will move Canadians to the work. Where there are no Canadians, getting our U.S. brothers and sisters in to assist with the work, creating those new people we're going to need, native people, unemployed youth, women, real immigration and — as a last gasp — temporary foreign workers.

The merit shop in Canada loves temporary foreign workers. There is the theory that people can be imported into Canada on a temporary basis to do construction work — providing they are paid the same money, they have the same qualifications, they get the same benefits, they don't upset the labor relations system, there are no Canadians available, and the employer shows that he's got an apprenticeship program and he's tried to recruit. The truth is the government has been embarrassed over the last little while by finding out the temporary foreign workers are getting paid $3.50 an hour and a few meals.

But, if we can get politicians on both sides of the border engaged, we can get a very real benefit from temporary foreign workers, if we can make it work. And for us, it's not temporary foreign workers, it would be a free market of U.S.-Canadian unionized construction workers.

After all of that, after having a plan to try and develop the work force, we're still going to need 165,000 people over the next few years. They have to replace the guy on the slide. Now, I know the guy on the slide is working on a steam boiler, but the title of the picture, interestingly enough, is the steam fitter. So forgive me for bringing a steam fitter onto your slide.

The challenge, sooner or later, is we've got to get the people if we're going to get the work. Owners don't have to love us, all they have to do is need us. Our industry in Canada is going to grow. It is possible to own the market. In the province of Quebec, there is a system of labor relations unique in the world. Every Quebec construction worker must be in a union. There are five competing unions and every three years — we just finished it this spring — there is a run off election to determine in what union people are going to go. The Boilermakers represent 98.53 percent of all of the boilermakers in Quebec. That's market share.
